<p>^Thanks, that helps a lot. Another question about it though… if I become a finalist and select certain schools to have my application forwarded to, will that be my “admission.” Will the college actually send me a letter of acceptance / denial and that’s it for that school? It also says I may have to use the CommonApp, but can my essays overlap a bit? Or between the QB essays and supplements (thinking of Stanford’s intellectual vitality)? Thanks again!</p>
